Hello there, my dears! I am so happy to welcome you back to my blog (which I will, one of these days, post at more often) to celebrate the upcoming release of my 10th Austen variation, The Good Sister.
Here is the blurb:
_____
In her latest Pride and Prejudice variation, Christine Combe turns the “Elizabeth is not a Bennet” trope on its head—and makes her a Bingley!
Elizabeth Bingley returns home after four years abroad hopeful of a happy reunion with her family. Her brother Charles welcomes her back with a wide smile and open arms, but her sisters Louisa and Caroline are disdainful of her presence and make snide comments as to her appearance—and at the birthday ball of a friend, where Elizabeth makes her debut in society, Caroline goes so far as to spread malicious gossip about her!
Fitzwilliam Darcy is happy to see his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam after four long years, and is surprised when he recommends a young lady he’s never met to be a friend to Darcy’s young sister, Georgiana. Elizabeth Bingley’s unexpected beauty stuns him, and her intelligence intrigues him, so he agrees to a meeting between his friend Bingley’s sister and his own.
After a confrontation with Caroline leads to a breach in the Bingley family, Charles seeks to take Elizabeth away from London for some peace in the country. They lease Netherfield Park in Hertfordshire, and along with a few guests, quickly become acquainted with some of the local families.
The young people find themselves giving serious consideration to what it is they truly want in a partner as love begins to bloom between more than one pair. Their happy time, however, threatens to come to a tragic end when one person’s spiteful nature is directed at Elizabeth, leading Darcy to fear he might have waited too long to declare his affection for her.
_____And now for the gorgeous cover, created by Wynter Designs!
